At the time of the termination, the content of the table reference was as follows:

check : <runtime parameter>
index: <runtime parameter>
ShmId: <runtime parameter>
IsLockId: <runtime parameter>

To find the cause of the memory overwrite, you can try the following:

1) The structures before and after the corrupted table in the DATA section are potential candiates for invalid access using ASSIGN.

2) In the ABAP Debugger, it is possible to set a watchpoint for the administration data of an internal table. If the table is called ITAB for example, you enter the field display ITAB[](8). The 8 byte administration information is then displayed hexadecimally. You now have to set a watchpoint for this field display and run the program. As soon as this is overwritten, the ABAP Debugger stops. The reference to an internal table is corrupt. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

This is probably an error in program <runtime parameter>. The administration data for accessing the internal table was probably corrupted by a memory overwrite. A memory overwrite of this kind is normally caused by one of the following programming errors:

1) A dynamic ASSIGN whose offset and/or length specification was too large, resulting in positioning beyond the end of the source field used in the ASSIGN. Next time write access was made to the associated field symbol, data was written beyond the borders of the source field.

2) A DO ... VARYING loop with incorrect step width or too large a number of runs can also be positioned beyond the limits of the observed structure and be overwritten.

3) Using the ASSIGN ... CASTING statement caused a memory area to be interpreted with a different type and to be overwritten. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

The administration data for access to an internal table can no longer be interpreted.
